Denmark has launched a growing number of schemes aimed at helping Danish companies recruit and retain foreign talent. A shortage of skilled labour is pretty much the only thing holding back Denmark’s otherwise impressively strong economy.
Here’s what the country has done so far to bring in more foreign skilled workers:
Copenhagen Municipality has set up International House Copenhagen, a one-stop shop for foreign workers and Danish companies looking to recruit them.
Aarhus Municipality has launched a special site for new international arrivals, and is launching a new “internationalisation strategy”, which it says aims to ensure “the best possible reception, attract international talent, and, most importantly, create an environment where internationals can feel at home in Denmark”.
Aalborg has set up International House North Denmark, a one-point entry for international workers coming to the city and its surrounding region, which offers, among other things a “Spouse Space” to help the spouses of international workers find employment.
There is also Project Onboard Denmark, launched by a professor at Copenhagen University, which gives companies access to an onboarding process and a lot of research to help them and their new international employees “turn cultural differences into collaborative strengths”.
